    In any\[\Delta \,\,ABC\],\[a(b\cos C-c\cos B)\]equals

    A) \[{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}\]                  

    B) \[{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}\]           

    D)        \[\frac{1}{{{b}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{c}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[a(b\cos C-c\cos B)\]                 \[=ab\cos C-ac\cos B\]                 \[=\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}}{2}-\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}{2}\]                 \[={{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}\]
